Cross Reference Information

Description

This overload protector is a direct-replacement electrical safety device that helps protect the compressor motor from overheating and overcurrent. It trips the circuit when the compressor draws excessive current, helping prevent damage and allowing normal operation once cooled. What it does:

• Detects excessive current or high temperature at the compressor and interrupts power to prevent motor damage.
• Helps stop hard-starting or repeated short-run cycles caused by motor overload.
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as a refrigerator or freezer that hums or clicks, runs briefly then stops, or fails to maintain proper cooling.
• Works with the start components to ensure reliable compressor startup and protect against electrical stress.

What's included: One overload protector (single unit) as shown. Install notes:

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power at the breaker before servicing.
• Handle compressor terminals and wiring carefully; avoid bending or damaging terminal tabs.
• Replace with the identical part number or OEM-specified protector to ensure correct fit and electrical ratings.
• After installation, restore power and observe the appliance through one full start/stop cycle to confirm normal operation.
